Ductwork cleaning in Steward's Green
Ductwork in Steward's Green is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. Common call-outs are for grease pooling at the foot of the riser and fat dripping from the ductwork, across access panels, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs.
Somewhere as small as Steward's Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Steward's Green?
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped, and build-up speeds up.
What we are most often called out for:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Steward's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
FAQs for Steward's Green
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Steward's Green out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Steward's Green. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Will you come out to Steward's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Food Standards Agency records include about 11 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Steward's Green. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Steward's Green are the job of Epping Forest council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Steward's Green is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
